(...) Shouldn't 680.dat, 681.dat, and 682.dat all be in the parts/s directory? They don't represent real pieces of plastic (or rubber in this case), so I don't understand why they are modeled as such. Or do synthesized sub-parts get treated (...) (16 years ago, 17-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I think that's not quite the point that was being made. The point is that selling individual bricks to individual consumers is *grossly* more expensive for the company, not that it's cheaper, and hence would need to sell sets to keep their (...) (16 years ago, 17-Sep-08, to lugnet.general)

(...) Well, if you include a margin for profit (which does seem fair), this *does* exist - it's called Pick-a-Brick, and you can do it on-line via S@H. Yes, I *know* it doesn't have all the elements, or all the colors... but it has loads more than (...) (16 years ago, 17-Sep-08, to lugnet.general)

(...) YES but LEGO wouldn't be around if they don't make some profits right? How at production cost would they survive. (16 years ago, 17-Sep-08, to lugnet.general)

(...) To be honest, in my opinion theres nothing particularly "adult" about those sets - theyre just models (albeit rather impressive models) with a high brick count and an even higher price tag. What I would really like to see, is the possibility (...) (16 years ago, 17-Sep-08, to lugnet.general)
